GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

to be clear the issue with AI writing is not only that it’s bad, it’s specifically that it isn’t made by humans, therefore it has no value. nobody is watching two AIs play chess against each other even though computers are better than humans at chess. IT’S BECAUSE WE DON’T CARE.

A hungry foxfafa caught himself a stoatlian... #hualian

Foxfafa and stoatlian (they have animal ears and tails). Hua Cheng is smiling mischievously and rubbing Xie Lian's fluffy tail against his face. XL is caught by surprise, he's turning around and blushing

Again foxfafa and stoatlian. HC is licking XL's neck, smiling and looking at him hungrily. XL is blushing and his face is scrunched up. He has a thought bubble with the drawing of a happy fox with a trembling stoat in its mouth.

HC being supportive

Sketch of Hua Cheng in San Lang form smiling and holding a tray with teacups. He's wearing the bracelet XL made but also the birthday gift belt from the extra. It has 2 poorly embroidered smiling faces and hearts. Bubble says: "San Lang! Take that thing OFF!!!"

Design for old Feng because I think they would still like to look cute once everything is settled 🥺

Shi Qingxuan sheet, one full body drawing +two busts, front and back. They're wearing worn and slightly tattered but colorful and layered clothes. They have a lot of trinkets and also ribbons in their hair. There are several seashells on the necklace. A pouch hangs from their belt where their fan is also tucked. They are supporting their weight on a cane and their left arm is bandaged.

My little headcanon is that they get together once in a while to make crafts with Xie Lian's scraps and some mysterious sea shells that keep showing up wherever Shi Qingxuan goes 🐚🤷🏻

Colored drawing of Shi qingxuan and Xie Lian hanging out, they are sitting at a table, talking and laughing. There are threads, fabrics, beads, shells, stones and other materials on the table. XL is threading a red bracelet

Hua Cheng is called back to Ghost City to investigate troubling rumors at home, and finds only more questions instead of answers; a mysterious cultivator visits the Gambler's Den; and Hua Cheng witnesses a white-robed cultivator in a rabbit mask defending his own lieutenant. Meanwhile, Xie Lian gets mistaken for someone else and definitely fails at avoiding attracting the city master's attention.

When Tolkien adaptations *still* continue to put down POC or falls short of full representation, the MTG set goes hard for their decision to make major heroes POC with no apologies given 😎

Calamity Xie Lian and Wu Ming are jumping across the rooftops, making their way towards the Yong'an palace, as the black cloud of resentful spirits follows them closely behind.

lrt: there's always been a subsection of people who will comment in this weird way on fic, tbh. I haven't posted enough fic recently to know if it's lately gotten worse (thanks to things articulated better in other threads) but regardless... extremely entitled loser ass behavior tbh

ALSO THIS, which is so well-put. (And I swear this is the last thing I'll say about the word discourse.) To me is it not really the 'I don't know this word' that bugs me, it's the ask. You do not get to ORDER UP what an artist provides! You get what you get! When did this change?!!??

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

lmao saying "canon in my heart" made me think of like. heartcanon being a thing as opposed to headcanon headcanon - something i believe could be plausible based on evidence in the text or general themes/characterization heartcanon - this has little basis/may even be unlikely but i love it SOOO MUCH
